Is it possible to include students' email in the csv file output from the gradebook? Is there any way to output a CSV file that includes students' names, SIS IDs, Login IDs, and emails? Thank you very much."
Is there a way to export student email addresses that are stored in Canvas? I need to create accounts for my students in another program and would like to use the email address that they currently have stored in Canvas as their primary email address. It seems this should be easy to pull from people, but I do not see the option for it.
How can I see all my students email addresses in a course at one time? I stumbled on it once and should have wrote it down but did not.

We have a number of faculty on our campus who use Excel in tandem with Canvas to manage various aspects of their courses. Our old LMS, Brightspace, had a one-click option to export a list of students and their email addresses. Canvas doesn't seem to have that, and I'd like to suggest it as an idea. I know it has been brought up many times in the Community to no avail:
Many of the solutions involve Admin-level workarounds or coding hacks that are well beyond the capability of most of our faculty. I'm a Canvas Admin and I get this question all the time, and it's more than a little frustrating that Canvas can't perform what seems like such a simple task.
I'm am a teacher of a class that requires participation from many other teachers. While entering them into Canvas Module via "+ People", I get a message that indicates that Canvas can't find matches for the email addresses below (see attachment for screen shot). I had this problem on approximately 4 out of 25 email addresses I submitted. I have verified their email addresses and they appear to be correct or at least they work in Google Mail.
Could this have something to do with a mismatch between a Canvas Profile email address and their google account email address?

Hi,
I want to download the contact emails for all of the students in my class so that I can add them to a group for access to a specific Google Doc. Where can I find the email addresses, and is there an easy way to download the email addresses for the entire class as a list?
Thanks
When viewing user comments from the Message or Support Insights, the Comments table displays both the user IDs (for Impact messages) or their first and last names (for support articles), along with their associated email addresses. However, when attempting to export the information in this table using the "Export" drop-down and selecting either the "Data as csv" or "Data as pdf" option, the email addresses are not exported; only the user IDs or names are exported. This requires the email addresses to be manually merged in as an additional step if Impact administrators are not replying to users directly, or if the feedback is being supplied to another team for response.
Please allow the export "data as csv" or "data as pdf" output to include the displayed email addresses, as already shown in the Comments table. It's not explained in any existing documentation why this function removes the email information, requiring extra work to restore the information that already exists within the Comments table anyway, making it challenging to respond to user feedback outside of the Impact interface.

How do I download an excel file with my students' names and emails?
